One of my hard-disk stopped functioning properly so I removed it from my main computer. The HDD had two partitions, the first a 2 GB swap and the second partition an ext 4 159 GB single work-space. After removal of the disk I found that the reboot took me much longer. Looking at the cause I found that the machine is still looking for the local swap. I have given all my swap spaces a volume label, in this case label swapc. From where is the boot-loader getting its information so that I can remove this old and unjust information.
Check your grub kernel boot line, the "resume" clause. It may be pointing to what was the swap partition.
It almost certainly does, as would the initrd, and fstab. Replacing the Grub kernel line's resume=foobarbaz with noresume will avoid the initrd call pending regeneration or new kernel installation, but fstab needs an update to exclude the swapc partition as well.
Thanks everybody for their input. The main problem in my case was the fstab which still contained the line with the swapc partition. I had overlooked the line because my fstab has now all the directories included from "home". I also stood under the impression that the fstab is renewed with every main update. My mistake.
